One chooses to engage in homosexual behavior in order to satisfy dark urges. The homosexual, like the murderer, can choose to refrain from acting upon this dark impulse, but decides to succume and commit acts of vulgarity. Therefore, it stands to reason that the same mentality that possesses the murderer, also possesses the homosexual. That is a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by environmental forces or stress.

One chooses to engage in pie eating behavior in order to satisfy dark urges. The Pie eater, like the murderer, can choose to refrain from acting upon this dark impulse, but decides to succume and commit acts of vulgarity. Therefore, it stands to reason that the same mentality that possesses the murderer, also possesses the pie eater. That is a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by environmental forces or stress.

I hate to tell you this, but the urge to love and make love is a natural one, not a dark one, regardless of the sex of the consenting adult at whom it is directed, and the only valid reason to suppress it is that the other person doesn't welcome it. Murder, on the other hand... Anonymous Coward, are you hiding out there because you think all these homosexuals want to murder you, maybe by spearing you to death?

An unemployed truck driver seething over liberalism told police he opened fire in a church last year because it harbored gays and multiracial families and he hoped others would follow his example.

"They just glory (in) these weirdos and sickos and homos," he said in an interview recorded by investigators.

He also railed against the Unitarian Church: "That ain't a church, that's a damned cult," Adkisson said.

Adkisson walked into the church, pulled a sawed-off shotgun from a guitar case and fired into a congregation of about 230 people watching a children's musical performance.

Adkisson left a four-page suicide note in his SUV in the church parking lot. In it, he described the attack as "a hate crime,"

Adkisson concluded, "I'd like to encourage other like-minded people to do what I've done. If life ain't worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. Do something for your country before you go. Go kill liberals."

Catherine Murray, who was friends with the couple, told police Adkisson had drug and alcohol problems and "basically was afraid of anybody or anything that was not like him."

It's getting more obvious all the time that people who speak of these "impulses" are having feelings they are afraid of and assume that everybody feels this way, some just "let the demons take over". First problem, there's nothing bad about those feelings other than assholes treating you poorly. Secondly, everyone does not have these impulses.

Let's just say for the sake of argument you were correct. The same is true of someone choosing an ice-cream flavour.

Pistachio, like murder, is a choice.

One chooses to engage in rum-n-raisin in order to satisfy dark urges. The ice-cream afficionado, like the murderer, can choose to refrain from acting upon this dairy impulse, but decides to succumb and commit acts of comestibility. Therefore, it stands to reason that the same mentality that possesses the murderer, also possesses the ice-cream consumer. That is a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by environmental forces or stress.

That's your "reason" standing right there, AC, a cliched jilted TV girlfriend who might either go on a vengeful rampage or weepily curl up with a tub of Texas toffee ripple.

So the ladies must be either a banana-choc-chip type of girl or a bunny-boiler. Because both ice-cream and murder are choices!

The exception, Mudak, being that substituting Christianity for it would actually make this bilge make sense, considering how given Christians are to murder and death threats and whatnot.

As for addressing the insane troll logic, why is it that nobody can give any proof that homosexuality is a choice? Doesn't anyone think that if I could turn straight, that I would, given the societal pressure (aforementioned death threats [by Christians especially], employment risks, etc.)?

One chooses to engage in conspiracy theories in order to satisfy dark urges. The conspiracy theorist, like the murderer, can choose to refrain from acting upon this dark impulse, but decides to succume and commit acts of vulgarity. Therefore, it stands to reason that the same mentality that possesses the murderer, also possesses the conspiracy theorist. That is a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by environmental forces or stress.

There, that's better.

Actually, conspiracy theorists are more like homosexuals in one aspect than they are like murderers. Why? Well, murder is indeed a choice. Homosexuality is not.

Sheer and utter stupidity is also not a choice; you're born that way. So, the conspiracy theorist is born as his is, dumb, dense, void of reason, unable to learn, unable to listen, full of shit from ear to ear. He can't choose it. That's his nature.
